ABS (WHEEL AN-
TILOCKING SYS-
TEM) FAILURE (am-
ber)
When there is a fail-
ure in the ABS system.
In this case, the normal braking sys-
tem continues to work although with-
out the ABS assistance. Hence, have
the car seen to at a
Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
The warning light should come on
when the key is turned to
MARand
go out after approximately 2 seconds.
DIRECTION INDICA-
TORS (green) (flash-
ing)
When the direction
indicator control stalk is
operated (arrows).

AIR BAG FAILURE
(red)
When there is an
airbag system failure.
If the xwarning light
comes on when travel-
ling, check whether the
handbrake is engaged. If the
warning light stays on and the
handbrake is not engaged, stop
immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
>
Warning light >, with
the engine running, nor-
mally indicates a fault in
the ABS system only. In this case,
the braking system is still effi-
cient, though without the an-
tilocking device. You are advised
to go immediately to the nearest
Fiat Dealership, driving in a man-
ner to avoiding sharp braking and
get the system checked.
û
The warning light should
come on when the key is
turned to MAR and go
out after approximately 4 sec-
onds. If the warning light either
does not come on or comes on
when travelling, stop immedi-
ately and go to a Fiat Dealership.
The warning light should come on
when the key is turned to
MARand
go out after approximately 2 seconds.

INJECTION SYSTEM
FAILURE (red) (diesel
versions)
When there is a fault in the injection
system.
The warning light should come on
when the ignition key is turned to
MARand go out after a few seconds.
The warning light will stay on or
come on when travelling to indicate
imperfect operation of the injection
system with possible loss of perfor-
mance, poor handling and higher con-
sumption.
In these conditions, you can contin-
ue driving but you should avoid de-
manding efforts from the engine or
high speeds. Contact a
Fiat Dealer-
ship
as soon as possible.
Prolonged use of the car with warn-
ing light can cause damage to the en-
gine, specially in the event of misfir-
ing. The car can only be driven for a
short period of time at low ratios.
Occassional and brief lighting of the
warning light is meaningless.

required.
3)Air distribution knob: pointer at
O.
4)Climate control system: press the
switch
√and move the air distribution
pointer on

increase the temperature and de-
crease the fan speed.
HEATING

Air temperature knob: pointer in
the red sector.
2)Fan knob: pointer set at the speed
required.

RAPID DEMISTING/DEFROST-
ING
The climate system is very useful for
accelerating the demisting, because it
dehumidifies the air. It is sufficient to
adjust the controls for the demisting
operation and activate the climate
control system, pressing the button √
.
Windscreen and side windows
1)
Air temperature knob: pointer in
the red sector (fully turned to the
right) on cold days or in the blue sec-
tor (fully turned to the left) on hot
days.
2)Fan knob: pointer at maximum
speed.
3)Air distribution knob: pointer at
-.
4)Air recirculation switched off,
pointer at -
U.
When the windscreen and the win-
dows have been demisted adjust the
controls to keep the windows as clear
as possible.
Rear window
Press the button
(.
As soon as the rear window is
demisted, we suggest switching off the
device.
VENTILATION
1)
Central and side vents: fully open.
2) Air temperature knob: pointer in
the blue sector.
3) Fan knob: pointer set at the speed
required.
4) Air distribution knob: pointer at
O.
5)Air recirculation pointer: at -
U, equal to air intake from outside.
RECIRCULATION
When the pointer is at T, only in-
ternal air recirculation is activated.
IMPORTANTIn conditions of very
high external air temperature, the re-
circulation operation accelerates the
air cooling. Then, this function is par-
ticularly useful when the outside air
is heavily polluted (in a traffic jam, tun-
nel, etc.). You are advised against us-
ing this function for long periods how-
ever, especially if there are a lot of
people in the car.
IMPORTANTDo not use the re-
circulation function during cold/wet
weather as this will increase the like-
lihood of the windows misting up.
